England squad: Marc Guehi out with hip injury as Dan Burn called up

England squad news has confirmed a defensive change for the Nations League. Manchester City’s Marc Guehi has withdrawn with a hip injury. Newcastle’s Dan Burn has been called up in his place.

The Football Association announced the update at 11.45am on Monday. Burn, who has 11 caps, joined Thomas Tuchel’s group at Tottenham Hotspur’s training ground the same day. Guehi will stay with City over the break.

England squad: Guehi out with hip injury

Guehi came off at half-time in City’s 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Enzo Maresca said afterwards that the defender had asked to come off. BBC Sport reported on Sunday that he was having a scan.

The former Crystal Palace captain has been a regular under Tuchel. He started all but one of England’s World Cup games and all four Nations League matches in September and October. That run ends for this window.

Dave.Sport covered the early signs in our Man City injury news on Guehi and Gvardiol. Monday’s England squad update makes the hip issue official for this camp.

Dan Burn called up

England Football confirmed that Burn replaces Guehi. The Newcastle centre-back was part of the World Cup squad and made two substitute appearances. He missed the previous break with an ankle injury.

Newcastle also confirmed the call-up. Burn joins club-mate Lewis Hall in the party. Hall was already named last week.

Yamal doubt for Spain v England

Spain have their own fitness story ahead of the Madrid meeting. Lamine Yamal has right-knee discomfort after Barcelona’s win at Atlético Madrid. The Spanish federation says he will miss Thursday’s game against Czechia in Prague.

Fabrizio Romano first reported the plan for Yamal to join the squad later. ESPN and the Associated Press both say the aim is for him to be available against England. His participation still depends on how the knee responds.

What City said

Manchester City confirmed that Guehi will remain at the Etihad Campus. The club said he will prepare for the Premier League return against Fulham on Saturday 21 November. Josko Gvardiol also reported a small issue at the weekend, adding to City’s defensive concerns.

Tuchel now has Burn as cover for the Croatia and Spain ties. Guehi’s next steps will be managed at club level through the break.

England’s defensive options still include the wider centre-back pool Tuchel has used through 2026. Burn’s height and set-piece threat offer a different profile to Guehi. Thursday’s Croatia meeting at Wembley will show how quickly he settles back into camp.

Burn’s return gives Tuchel another tall centre-back option for Croatia. Guehi’s hip issue will be monitored at City before the Fulham fixture. Spain’s Yamal update will also be watched closely in the England camp this week.
